This has nothing to do with anything people by beats for just thatBEATS.

I always thought of beats as overpriced garbage, the only thing I was ever interested in was the program dre was using in the commercial. I stick with Skull Candy's because there cheap, and have really good quality. And they feel comfortable, sometimes the Apple ear buds can get a tad annoying. That, and its really annoying when half of the school have beats.

Sad thing is they are only getting it because Dr. Dre has them.

It annoys mean when people take beats headphones to grade school, it's only a matter of time before they get that shit stolen.

I assume your talking about beats.

You don't know how many damn kids have beats, I swear you could probably find a pair on the floor. Sadly, I have shit luck.

Naaaahhh, for musical clarity and the limitation of room acoustics headphones is the way to go. You're clearly not a musician.
Not all musicians use computers to sample and scramble everything. Many of us use instruments with our mouths and hands.

If you are into recording your music, then a good pair of headphones are ESSENTIAL for proper mixing.

I only appy this to the iphone but only because over half that shit you could do on the original Iphone or at least by the time we got to iphone 3. And what you can't do on the previous iphone is probably unnecessary anyway.

You know what?

All I've ever heard about Skullcandy was that it was shit.

Well my friend got a pair of Skullcandy earbuds, and my first reaction was...

Wow.... not only did you bitch out and get earbuds..... but Skullcandy? You're a fucknig tool.

well... he told me to just try them.... and they were amazing.

I had a song at the loudest volume possible on the computer.... and when i put on the earbuds.... i couldn't hear anything but the song he was playing....

I've never tried anything beats..... but that stuff seems just as bad as apple when it comes to gimmicky marketing.

I'm a huge fan of headphones, and have about 3 pairs of skull candies, 2 pairs of beats, 1 pair of Bose's and about 4 pairs of Sennheisers.

Both Skullcandies and Beats are terrible choices for someone who actually wants to hear music. Skullcandies are known to be extremely delicate and having a horrible range in sound. Beats have a huge lead in sound, but are extremely overpriced, and still not worth it.

Get sennheiser's, the cheapest Sennheiser headphone has audio quality that is 2 times better then that of beats. There durable, cost effective, and produce really good sound. The only "problem" I had with a pair was the length of the wire. It's really long on some, but that's a blessing and a curse.

Neither, because they are both shoddy and fall apart easily. I rarely use headphones, I usually just listen to the music in my head. If I ever feel the need to listen to music, I'd rather play it through speakers. I like music to be ambient, not something buzzing in my ear.

If I must pick headphones, Ima go with Bose.

I violently disagree. I always use my headphones over speakers. Everything just sounds more clear, and you can blast out your ear drums and nobody else can hear it.

To be honest, Ive never tried either brand of headphone mentioned.
Of course they are far more stylish than waht I have, but I personally think their a bit overhyped.
You can see beats in just about every music video nowadays!
and everyone also obsesses about skullcandies!

nonetheless, my bose headphones have served me well ever sinse I got them.
the sound quality is subperb; and makes up for the conservative design.
Although I will ALWAYSprefer music blared out via speakers!
I dont know about you headphone enthusiasts, but when I can feel the bass vibrating through my body; I just keep goin at it ya know wat i mean? ;)

Beats is a good selection if you wanna really get your head bobbing but for some songs it might make the beat stand out so much that it may take away from what makes a particular song really shine. I'd take either or, to be honest.

So what do you prefer Beats or skull candy?

I can easily tell you, since I'm a hardcore audiophile... That both brands are awful.

Well, I mean It's obviously about what you want soundwise and what you listen to. Beats are, by a large better. Just not two and a half bills better. They're both pretty mediocre though. Demon, to me, makes the best followed closely by AT.

Spellcheck messed me up. I, of course, meant Denon. Demon sounds cool though.

I have a question for this thread.

Why the fuck is every celebrity coming out with a pair of headphones?
